                  HARRINGTON, DELAWARE HALF-MILE CANCELED

     PICKERINGTON, Ohio --  The Harrington, Del., round of the AMA

Progressive Insurance U.S. Flat Track Championships, originally scheduled

for May 20 but postponed due to rain, has been canceled.

     Scheduling conflicts at the Delaware State Fairgrounds prevent the

event from being rescheduled this year, said AMA Pro Racing flat track

manager Bruce Bober.

     "We're sorry to announce the cancellation of the Harrington round of

the 2000 AMA Progressive Insurance U.S. Flat Track Championships," Bober

said. "It's always been a great race weekend for teams and fans," said AMA

Pro Racing flat track manager Bruce Bober.  We're already working with the

race promoters and Fairgrounds staff for a date on our 2001 schedule."

     Race organizers refunded all tickets at the gate May 20, after the

postponement due to rain was announced. If you have not received a refund,

please contact the promoter, Bob Jones, at (717) 697-5000.
